Hi - I don't have the answer to your problem, but I can tell you that I'm running web2py's server with a non-root user (just my own regular user login) on ubuntu 9.04. I also run winpdb as the same user, and can attach and step through the web2py code with that. So it should be possible for you, too.
One annoying part about using winpdb to debug web2py apps is that it needs to be stopped and restarted whenever I make a code change. I'd guess that eclipse wouldn't require that. Hang in there...
